Radiator question?
« on: 21 March 2004, 23:41 »
I believe i have a problem,  there is a pipe on the top of my radiator that hasd sort of a valve to let air out?   well that pipe i have noticed it cracked right where it goes into the radiator,  what is this and what will happen if ikeep driving, and how can i fix it??  if someone could post a pic of the engine bay i can point it out?

Eh? Now I'm confused ???

8v digi, has isv
16v k-jet, has isv

Yours appears to fall into some other option ???

Need a pic to help you. Tried looking for one last night to post for you to show us.
If its at the top of the radiator but isn't leaking coolant then probably nothing to worry about.
I'll have another look for a pic.

'6, I've never seen or heard an 8v k-jet fitted with an isv. Are you sure? And if so, what year did they do that?
